Internal ComponentsThe videos begin by explaining each of the Internal Components of a computer. We cover the function of each component, how they relate to each other, the features and specifications to look for and how much to pay for each part.

InstallationWe start with an overview of parts and tools. Each step is covered in detail, with video close up shots so you know how to install each component before you even get started. The installation section ends by powering on the computer.

Intel Core i3, i5 & i7 OC VideosIn these videos we are going to show how to overclock a socket 1366, Core i7 920 CPU. This process works for all Core i3, i5 & Core i7 CPUs. We will take this CPU from it's stock speed of 2.66GHz all the way up to 4GHz.

AMD Phenom II OC VideosIn these videos we are going to show how to overclock a socket AM3, Phenom II X4 955 CPU. This process works for all Phenom II and Athlon II CPUs. We will take this CPU from it's stock speed of 3.2GHz all the way up to 3.8GHz.

S5- File SharingWe will configure Windows networking on each computer to enable file sharing. We will share files and printers on each of our computers. Finally we will connect to these files and printers across the network.

Overview

In this lesson we’ll be installing the memory sticks and processor onto the motherboard as well as the heat sink and fan, to cool the processor.

Static Electricity

Before we start let’s talk about static electricity. If you’ve ever shocked another person by touching them or gotten a shock touching a door knob, you know what we mean. Static electricity is deadly to computer parts.

Carpet is a big generator of static electricity, so it’s best to work on solid floors. If you have to stand on carpet, be sure to wear rubber soled shoes, which will insulate you from the carpet.

A good way to drain your self of static is to touch the computer case before handling the other parts.

Also try to handle the parts by only touching the edges. Avoid touching the chips and exposed circuits.

By using these simple precautions you’ll greatly reduce the chance of component failures.

First we'll show how to install 2 DDR3 memory sticks and an AMD FM1, FM2 or AM3+ CPU and cooler onto a socket FM1, FM2 or AM3+ motherboard. Then we'll show how to install a Core i5 processor onto an Intel Socket 1150 or 1155 motherboard. Last we’ll install 4 DDR3 memory stick and a Core i7 processor onto an Intel socket LGA 2011 motherboard.

How to install 2, DDR3 RAM Sticks in Dual Channel Mode (Memory)

To install the memory sticks, first find the memory slots on the motherboard. The slots are numbered and you should install the memory sticks into either the first and second, first and 3rd or 2nd and 4th slots. See your motherboard manual to be sure you use the correct slots to enable Dual Channel mode. The slots have tabs on each side to hold the sticks in place. On this motherboard we'll open the tabs on the 2nd and 4th slots, to install the RAM sticks in Dual Channel mode.

Take a look at the memory stick and you’ll see a notch on the bottom, slightly off center. This notch matches up with a notch on the memory slot and is there to prevent the memory stick from going in backwards.
